Genomics and Genome Technologies

Overview

The Genomics Core Facility at QBRI actively supports scientific research by providing advanced research technologies and methods to HBKU-QBRI research community and their collaborators from academia and industries to address the complex biomedical problems of QBRI’s research interests in the field of cancer biology, metabolic disorders and neurological diseases. HBKU-QBRI genomics core laboratory is equipped with various state-of-the-art, high-throughput technological platforms to sequence the nucleic acids by next-generation sequencing (NGS) as well by capillary sequencing methods, high-throughput genotyping studies by Illumina iScan system, and to study the expression of genes by NGS technologies, single cell platforms and targeted quantitative and digital PCR methods

Genomics core laboratory operation is aligned to support the vision and mission of QBRI based on the following fundamentals Genomics services to the researchers;

Assisting the researchers with design of an experiment, providing intellectual support and novel method development for genomics experiments;

Advanced training in genome technologies to the graduate students and researchers;
